GSP vs GSP Expert

Anyone have enough experience with these Walther GSPs to say the Expert is the better choice between the two? Also the same question on the 32.

I have them both in .32 S&W L. The only real difference I could tell between the two was the recoil-reducing device at the muzzle consisting of the reciprocating weight/spring mechanism. That device never did that much for me and I ended up taking that barrel off and replacing it with a fast-twist custom barrel from Dave Wilson and never looked back.

I have a much-older GSP in .22 (I think their first model from 1970) and it is accurate and very reliable. I have no experience with the GSP Expert in .22.

Hope that helps,

Bill

That does help. A good used GSP 32 plus a Wilson barrel will work and not break the bank.

Thanks Bill.

Greetings,

I currently use Douglas Chrome-Moly 0.311" blanks with a 14" twist.

I have used 10" and 12" twist with equal results. Actually, with carefully assembled hand loads, the factory 18 3/4" barrels shoot under three inches at 50 yards.

I use a chambering ream of my own design that is smaller in diameter than the SAAMI or CIP drawings. As a result, your brass is not worked as much and tends to last longer.

Cheers,

Dave
